Most one sided big fight?

[brownpimp88]

What was the most one sided big money fight you have ever seen.

[Russell]

Spinks/Tyson

Hearns/Duran

[JohnThomas1]

On a slightly lesser scale i was shocked at how easily Chavez beat down my man Edwin Rosario.

[Russell]

Tyson/Holmes

Hill/Tiozzo II

Jones/Griffin II

[JohnThomas1]

Hopkins - Tito was a schooling for the 3-1 against Bhop.

[JohnThomas1]

Frazier went to hell and back in beating Ali.

[ChrisPontius]

Hopkins - Tito was a schooling for the 3-1 against Bhop.

Hopkins was the 3 to 1 underdog ?? Are you sure?

Trinidad had only had one fight at 160 and only two or three at 154 (where he got knocked down), while Hopkins was on a big winning streak.






Lewis-Tyson was a huge fight but hardly competitive.

[Mike T]

Even though Tyson knocked him down, Tyson vs Douglas was pretty one-sided.

Someone posted 3-1 a day or two ago, i might look it up. Tito was the definite betting fave in America i know that much.

[Russell]

Hmm, Ali vs. Liston II.

Foreman vs. Frazier

[sweet_scientist]

Pernell Whitaker vs. Azumah Nelson
Roberto Duran vs. Esteban DeJesus III
Roberto Duran vs. Ken Buchanan
Roy Jones vs. James Toney (if you can classify Toney as a great)
Wilfred Benitez vs. Roberto Duran
Wilfreo Gomez vs. Carlos Zarate
Winky Wright (if you classify Wright as a great) vs. Felix Trinidad

[Dempsey1238]

Maybe Marciano Moore?? Outside of the knockdown in round 2 of couse. It was a pretty one sided fight.

Agree with Ross Armstrong, though I gave the FIRST 5 rounds to Ross, Armstrong than started to man handle Ross.

Though I haven't scored it, just from a viewing perspective I thought the first few rounds were fairly close and then Henry just started beating Barney down.

[Dempsey1238]

Thats about what I say, I still have no ideal were that Armstrong carry Ross story came??

Ross was double over in round 13 from a Armstrong right to the belly, and in the 15 round, Armstrong was all over Ross hitting from body too head. And even SHAKING Ross. He was trying to knock Ross's block off.

[Bummy Davis]

one round KO's can happen in Boxing but when a fight goes the distance and a good match becomes a mismatch, Calzage/Lacy is one I can think of

[JohnThomas1]

Hearns - Duran as Russell posted stands out bigtime.

Yeah, Armstrong carrying Ross is utter crap from what I saw too. If anything Hank was gunning for the Ko in the late rounds.

[albinored]

..of ones i've seen live, marciano-walcott II....marciano was the favorite but it still was a big fight.

of the ones i've seen on film, louis-conn II was a hugely hyped fight, and one of the biggest and most anticipated, but it was totally one-sided.

again, on film...dempsey-willard.

lots of others if i gave them some thought, but these are the first ones that come to mind, or that haven't already been mentioned.

[jimmie]

Roy Jones vs James Toney springs to mind because both were considered great p4p pound fighters with all around ability in their prime and were even great fighters long after this fight but Jones beat up Toney like he was Richard Hall or something it was insane. Jones baited Toney into showboating and made him pay for it by dropping him then hurting him badly in one of the later rounds,he didnt jab much but still put on a nice display of boxing by moving in circles landing good combos on Toney when he saw a opening head or body and in my honest opinion won 11 rounds. Easy win for Jones very easy.

[Longhhorn71]

One that I saw on closed circuit in Houston's Sam Houston Coliseum:

Ruben Olivares vs Bobby Chacon 2.

Chacon shows up totally weight drained and a wind would have blown
him over, let alone left hooks from Rock-a-bye Ruben.

[AnthonyJ74]

Evander Holyfield vs. George Foreman..........Holyfield beat on a heavy bag for twelve rounds!

[reed_man02]

Sanchez/Gomez

[sthomas]

Foreman v Frazier: I believe Frazier was favored
Tyson v Spinks: Thought it would go at least 2 or 3 rounds

[Sonny's jab]

I agree with Bummy when he says longer fights can be considered more one-sided than quick blow-outs. At least that's what I think of when I think of the "most one-sided"

Calzaghe-Lacy is the most one-sided big fight fight I've seen.
And people forget that Lacy was favoured to win !

Yes, that was a real reputation killer that one, the Lacy hype was huge and i don't think he's fought a decent fight since has he?

Last time I saw him was on the Mayweather-Hatton undercard, I think he was going against that Peter "the contender" Manfredo guy, and Lacy looked AWFUL. Very sluggish.

I thought his corner should have pulled him out during the Calzaghe fight, as the fight went on. That's what I would have done, pulled him out after about 9 rounds, then tell him there was definitely something wrong with him, convince him he was poisoned or something - just to salvage his confidence a little bit. Psychologically that fight would ruin most good fighters, nevermind the potential for physical damage.

Probably would have been a damn masterstroke too lol. I agree he's prolly done now.

[Holmes' Jab]

Jones Jr vs Toney

[JohnThomas1]

Jones Jr vs Toney

Great one, a damn near shutout.

[Holmes' Jab]

Yeah, it was suprising that it was such an easy win. I reckon that's the point when RJJ reached his absolute best- terrific fighter.

[PhillyPhan69]

Chavez Camacho

[C. M. Clay II]

Louis-Schmeling II
Johnson-Jeffries

lol. Good thinking, you'd make a good trainer.

[MasterFlo]

Definetly Calzaghe-Lacy, I couldn't believe that even happened.
I remember I was a kid and I was watching RJJ-Toney, and they were hyping Toney up so much but it honestly looked like any other of Roy's fights. At the time I didn't know who Toney was so when I got older and found out I was amazed, as a kid I believed RJJ to be invincible after that.

[Jear]

Hoya over Camacho was pretty dominant

[SteveO]

Tex Cobb v. Larry Holmes.

Easy win for Jones very easy.To be honest, I'm surprised you gave Toney a round.

[anon1]

there must be a lot of tyson fans on this board because no one has yet to mention: Lennox Lewis vs Mike Tyson! That was very one sided and the one sidedness continued for 8 rounds!

douglas - tyson - i won't mention it. douglas won but it was pretty competitive. at no point was douglas having an "easy" time - he was always working, always keeping a distance and maintaining his guard (and in one of the few moments he almost paid dearly). just my opinion i can certainly see if someone wants to mention tyson - douglas even if i don't agree.

i'd also give balboa vs clubber lang I (first fight) a mention.

[JohnThomas1]

If we talk BIG FIGHT and look at things realistically Holmes - Cooney, tho miles from the top is certainly worth a little mention in the run downs.

[Sonny's jab]

I think RJJ-Toney comes close to Calzghe-Lacy.

Like some already mentioned, in some people's eyes this represented a battle between two best fighters pound-for-pound. (Though I think Pernell Whitaker may have had something to say about that.)

Toney was the more established fighter, and there's no way anyone could imagine him getting beat like RJJ beat him.
Roy Jones Jr. was an incredible fighter. At his peak he was one of the best ever.
